What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
Theophylact of Ohrid
Lest anyone say that although the Father did not subject Himself to the Son, nevertheless nothing prevents the Son from being stronger than Him, he thoroughly demolishes such a supposition and says that the Son too will be subjected to the Father, showing the complete unity of mind of the Son with the Father. Therefore know that the Father is the cause and source of this power for the Son, and that the Son is not some other power opposed to the Father. If he used an expression more humble than was fitting, do not be surprised. …
Ignatius of Antioch

Jerome
God will be all things in all, so that there will not be only wisdom in Solomon, meekness of soul in David, zeal in Elias and Phineas, faith in Abraham, perfect love in Peter... zeal of preaching in the chosen vessel [Paul], and two or three virtues each in others. But God will be completely in all. The whole number of the saints will be glorified in the whole choir of virtues, and God will be all things to all.
Thomas Aquinas
950. – Then when he says: When all things are subjected to him, he shows that the end of this resurrection is not in the humanity of Christ, but the rational creature will be further led to contemplating the divinity, and in it is our happiness. Therefore, he says, when all things are subjected to him. …
